RE: mappoint query
Hi,
the MWS.Find generic call does not accept partial queries. Examples include
"Southe" and "Southen" will not work. I believe that the MWS.Find looks for
exact matches and since "Southend"/"Southend-on-sea" are understood as two
separate locations in the MWS datasource you get two different result sets.
If you need partial queries, you may want to consider using Virtual Earth, as
the queries above will cause disambiguation (southend-on-sea was one of the
disambiguated results).
Hope that helps,
